The 1st Annual Scientific Meeting of the Italian Young Neuroscientists, BraYn (Brainstorming Research Assembly for Young Neuroscientists), which will be held in Genoa, Italy, during the 29th and 30th of June 2018, is inspired and organized by researchers under the age of 40 from different backgrounds and with different scientific approaches. The meeting aims establish connections between the future protagonists of Italian neuroscience.
Every day, young Neuroscientists face the difficulties of carrying out their research at several levels; this conference is intended to be a useful meeting point to maximise the scientific investigation to its full potential. The philosophy of the conference is simple: to meet, connect, collaborate and share. Indeed we need to encourage cooperation among different research groups in order to broaden our horizons, and to contribute to the improvement in quality of Italian research.
The venue of the Congress, the San Martino Convention Centre, is located adjacent to Genoa’s academic hospital, which is the usual venue for scientific events.
